tests later revealing toxic levels of lead in the system. but it wasn't until more than a year later that authorities declared the drinking water unsafe. the city has switched back to lake huron water, but the river water damaged the pipe system and lead levels are still not safe. alex perez, abc news, flint, michigan. >> that's a reminder not to go swimming in flint water anytime soon. but it is a serious crisis. >> very serious. we hope they figure that one out. >> 100,000 people. ouch. still ahead on this edition of "this happened" you won't want to miss. but first, state of the president. eight years later and many things have changed. perhaps he's gotten a bit grayer. actually a lot.

life you that think prepares you best for that moment? >> in difficult or stressful moments i don't get rattled. >> reporter: and obama himself turned out to be a highly polarizing president. polls show he's never become either hugely popular like ronald reagan and bill clinton or hugely unpopular like jimmy carter or george w. bush. his favorability hovers under 50%. his presidency a time of turmoil and division and bitter, angry politics. the opposite of what he promised and hoped when he burst onto the scene with a speech that ignited the 2004 democratic convention. >> we are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the united states of america. >> reporter: america has come to know this couple, this historic first family, and watched as their girls grew up and watched as their dad grew gray. >> thank you. god bless you. god bless the united states of america. >> reporter: for "nightline" i'm terry moran. >> it's one thing a president never gets away with, is those

uncomfortable. partly because of the manicure. but also because of the size. >> the size of that bear? >> yeah. the lack of a manicure and the size. >> yeah. >> well, how about some more bears? this one's a little more rough. but a lot smaller. here are a couple of pandas lounging on a lazy day in china. when one of the pandas can't just chill out. biting and trying to eat the other, you see. but pandas are not herbivores apparently. they're designed to eat meat. but they apparently chose not to, you know, make them essentially vegetarian, making them essentially vegetarian. >> this segment has had more bears than west hollywood. and finally, if you ever catch yourself staring at your reflection in the mirror, don't worry, it's perfectly natural. it's normal. for humans. and apparently cockatoos. this is harley either doing some sort of performance art or he's really impressed by what he sees. surprised by how good-looking of a cockatoo he is in the mirror. >> or maybe he just knows he has

iowa. later today the president departs for his post-state of the union tour, including stops in nebraska and louisiana. reena, kendis? >> yeah, i thought that was a really funny moment when the president said that. you know, it is a big moment for people like governor nikki haley giving the response. bill clinton did it. we know senator marco rubio did it. how did nikki haley do? she's been talked about as being a potential vp candidate. >> reporter: well, the reaction to her address depends on which side of the republican divide you ask. speaker ryan, other republican leaders are commending her for her performance. on the other hand, donald trump supporters and several republican pundits are not so happy about her speech. they didn't like that veiled dig at trump. ann coulter, for example, tweeted that trump should deport her. pretty harsh. >> all right. thank you. thank you, bazi kanani there on capitol hill. >> and stay with abc news as we get more reaction to last night's address. we'll bring you some of the later this half hour.
